The Narváez Expedition was a Spanish attempt, in 1527–1528, to install Pánfilo de Narváez as adelantado (governor) of Florida.

The crew initially numbered about 600. Making stops along the way to Florida on Hispaniola and Cuba, the expedition experienced a hurricane among other storms, Indian hostility, and the eventual death of all but four of its men. Surviving were three Spaniards, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, who famously wrote it up, Alonso del Castillo Maldonado, Andrés Dorantes, and the Moorish slave Estevanico.
